Chemistry - programme subject in Programmes for Specialization in General Studies (KJE1-01)

This main subject area deals with chemical nomenclature, and chemical phenomena are explained by models at a micro level. It also deals with how chemical reactions are described by equations and how these equations are used to evaluate and estimate resource use and yield. The main subject area also gives an insight into how models have changed in the course of history.

This main subject area deals with how knowledge in chemistry is gained through processes that involve hypotheses, experimentation, observations, evaluation and reasoned conclusions. It also deals with the fact that chemistry is a practical discipline that uses laboratory equipment and analytical processes, and how theories and models are tested and illustrated through experiments.

This main subject area deals with the structure and properties of water and aquatic solutions. It also deals with the evaluation of the solubility of substances in water in everyday life as well as environmental and industrial contexts.

This main subject area deals with acids, bases and pH. It also deals with how chemical processes in water are affected by pH. The subject area also covers experiments and calculations linked to everyday life, healthcare, industrial processes and research.

This main subject area deals with natural and synthetic organic substances. The central element in the subject area is the structure of organic substances and how they react. In addition, it deals with nomenclature, which is used to systemize the increasingly large number of organic compounds.

This main subject area deals with current research in chemistry and with what is required to prove the reliability of research findings.

This main subject area deals with methods of chemical analysis, which are used to control both quality and quantity in numerous contexts. It also deals with open experimentation and instrumental analyses.

This main subject area deals with how organic substances react. In addition to focusing on practical work and experiments, it deals with the determination and description of the composition, functions and reactions of organic molecules. The main subject area also covers biochemical reactions linked to energy conversion in living cells.

This main subject area deals with corrosion, combustion reactions and electrochemistry. It also involves linking these subjects to a large selection of experiments, which provides a basis for many types of calculations.

This main subject area deals with polymers and nano materials. In addition, it deals with possible environmental impacts from the production, use and controlled dumping of different materials.
